Sorry yeah wasn't meaning to infer you couldn't write beautiful Web embracing code in TS. However most of the code I've seen using TS, and admittedly its a small sample, was of the other sort so I wasn't sure if that&#x2

Yeah the stuff I've seen looks to me like poorly written C# consciously written in a Web-ignorant style, thoroughly at odds with whats going on in the Web/JS community generally. Anyway totally agree on the typing angle, navigatio

Maybe off topic but I've been wondering whether many people are finding spending time on TS worthwhile? Given the improvements in ES6, the fact that the JS community in general is so active, and the fact that I've seen some truly

The URL itself provides a certain amount of location decoupling, and you can add in redirects to help with that. Temporal coupling aspect I also find to be misleading, you can for instance use an ATOM feed (or equiv) to record events, its t

Sorry yeah I get that, but in what way?

I'm not sure I really buy it, if you want to use the libraries/frameworks others are using that's easy, there's plenty of content out there that pushes you in the right direction. You can also take a punt on a framework&

"I realized that if you miss generics in Go, your code is trying to cope with too much." Was wondering what you mean by that (not disagreeing just interested)?

I see his argument about being primarily about the future, that as the standards fill in the gaps investing in libraries will become less of an attraction. Don't forget he was part of the REST/ROA group who were belittled when the

I agree with the other replies but when you talk about learning from Rails, I agree. I also don't think using Rails is a bad idea. However I find the idea that if you don't use a framework to literally force you down a path you&#x

Get you, I think that relying on a framework to teach you that is a problem. Once you've used or researched one or more frameworks in an area you learn the successful patterns (right down to file/folder/test/method namin

"This means new developers can get ramped up quickly" Agreed that is an advantage of frameworks, but is it not more of an argument for a mature framework like Rails, rather than the current JS frameworks which appear and become (e

Are you assuming libraries don't though?

by colin_jack 12y ago
Yeah that's my attitude too, Ember scared me away because of the kitchen sink approach and the fact it introduced lots of new abstractions that I hadn't seen proven elsewhere, and that didn't really seem to me to be what I wo

Well no not really, he says: "The fundamental idea is that frameworks aren't needed, use the capabilities already built into HTML+CSS+JS to build your widgets. Break apart the monoliths into orthogonal components that can be mixed

by colin_jack 12y ago
Yeah the lack of any successful JS rich Web apps proves this point. Wait, what....

by colin_jack 12y ago
This sort of attitude worries me, you don't need to use a framework to get this, you just need developers who have some knowledge of design/architecture, or who are the sort of people who will do research to find out. I honestly t

You have a point, from my perspective though the difference between a light-weight framework like Backbone and one like Ember is almost as big as the difference between say Backbone and jQuery.

I'm not sure they are immediately comparable, the level of change in the JS side has been massive. I'm also not sure the utilities libraries will be copied from project to project, for example if you developed a utility library an

Yup, also a good reminder that you need to constantly question the design decisions as you go (on an almost daily basis).

I guess the key bit of the article is: "These frameworks work well for highly interactive apps with complex user interface requirements. We only needed a small piece of what a full framework would offer." As you say its a tradeoff

I have to say I was expecting a bit more than him just spraying a big dirty tag on the side of the building. Pretty lame and costly for the museum to deal with.

I wouldn't tell them to ever take their socks off, the only rule in our house is no shoes in the house. Agree socks might not be 100% clean but you have to draw the line somewhere, and the bottom of a sock is bound to be cleaner than t

by colin_jack 13y ago
You keep your socks on so that's not really an issue. I personally don't let anyone wear shoes in our house, I don't know what they've stepped on so I don't want them dragging anything over the floors and carpets.
